Derby Talk

Derby Talk is a forum for Pinewood Derby, Awana Grand Prix, Kub Kar Rally, Shape N Race Derby, Space Derby, Raingutter Regatta and other similar races where a child and an adult work together to create a race vehicle and a lot of fun and memories

So, I haven't built a car since I was in cub scouts. I was very excited to have a Tiger cub this year and even more so to serve as their den leader. After getting online to do some research I couldn't believe how much derby has changed and how much it's stayed the same. A lot more high tech now but still about spending time with a kid doing something that's fun. We had a blast, I wanted to post a few pics of his car and mine. Pretty proud of him for his first year, he got some help from dad on the fenders but did a majority of the details and most of the paint work all on his own. (Special thank you to the dremmel corporation and Dupli-Color for making it look easy.) Got lots of great information from this site, Thank you to all the members who have shared knowledge, wisdom, help, and expertise.
